Jenny on a Plate

Multi-Coloured Swap Shop

I had a new experience at the weekend… I attended my first clothes swap and it was brilliant! I’ve heard about clothes swaps before and even intended to go along to one I’d heard about a couple of years ago but never managed to make it in the end, so the concept of clothes swapping … Continue reading »

Nākd competition: And the winner is…

A few weeks ago, I announced a healthy (and very tasty!) competition on my blog to win a box of delicious Nākd bars from the lovely people over at Natural Balance Foods. The competition asked readers to share with us one change they’d like to make in 2013 towards a healthier lifestyle and I’m delighted to … Continue reading »

COMPETITION: Get Nākd this new year!

First of all, allow me to begin my first blog post of 2013 by wishing you, dear reader, a very ‘Happy New Year!’ So, the party season is officially over (boo!) and 2013 is now upon us.

Can someone hit snooze on the alarm clock for a bit longer, please?

I have been toying with writing a blog post around the following topic for absolutely ages because it’s been something that has been on my mind for a long while now. And although I’m not at the end of the journey, I wanted to share my thoughts so today, I finally put pen to paper … Continue reading »

Typsy Takes to The Stage

So, I did it! Last Friday (October 12), I made my debut as newbie burlesque performer, Typsy Tease, at the ‘Shake, Rattle & Roll’ night, held in aid of St Luke’s Hospice, at The Shakespeare, Sheffield. I was performing at the charity event along with fellow graduates from the Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque course. … Continue reading »

Typsy Tease is back!

You may remember a few months ago (probably one of the last posts I published – I do apologise for how much of a rubbish blogger I have been of late, but more on that later) I wrote about the burlesque course I had recently completed with Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque in Sheffield. The … Continue reading »

A Night On The Burlesque Tiles

Last weekend, on a sassy and very sunny Saturday evening, my sister and I took a trip to Volupté, a classy little joint near London’s West End offering a world of decadence, delight, cocktails and sumptuous food. We were heading there for Volupté’s monthly Vintage Ball after being promised an evening of dining, burlesque, cabaret … Continue reading »

Tramlines 2012 – Another Immense Weekend

This last weekend, Sheffield proved once again just how fantastic it is at putting on a party when Tramlines 2012 arrived in town. In my opinion, Tramlines 2011 was just unbelievably amazing and a small part of me feared that 2012 might not be able to top that but as ever, Tramlines more than delivered … Continue reading »

Graduating in Burlesque

Last night saw the debut performance of my burlesque alter ego – Typsy Tease – at the graduation class of the Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque workshop that I have been attending for the past ten weeks, and what a fantastic evening it was! I was so nervous before my debut performance of Nouvelle Vague’s … Continue reading »

Recipe: Slimming World Roulade

I don’t have a massive sweet tooth but since I’ve been doing Slimming World, I’ve not found it too easy to find low ‘syn’ options for when you’re fancying something sweet. But then a couple of weeks ago, I came across a page on Facebook, in which a very lovely lady kindly creates and shares … Continue reading »
